Okay, so I'm evil... A copy of the pilot for "Jake 2.0" recently found its way into my possession, and I gleefully watched it -- while I don't care for spoilers as a general rule (except when they pertain to Spike on BtVS), I love getting to see things early.
( Here's my review of the pilot for Jake 2.0 -- it contains some minor spoilers )
They've got a good setup with story and characters. Sadly, I think
it's doomed to failure because of the incredibly stupid timeslot UPN
is sticking it in -- opposite AtS. It always boggles my mind when network muckymucks schedule a genre show to compete with another genre show... no matter what that genre happens to be. They never seem to grasp that there's a finite number of viewers for any given genre, and they'd do better in the numbers in another time slot where they can then have the same exact audience as the show they wind up competing against. Or maybe I'm just too ignorant to understand the subtleties of their cleverness. ;-)
